A STORY FROM OUR AGENCY:
From the first broadcast in February 1978, KZUM Community Radio has been the vibrant voice of Lincoln, connecting and uplifting our community with an electrifying blend of music, talk programming, podcasts, and community news. Powered by passionate volunteers, we proudly produce over 7,000 hours of unique, homegrown programming each year!
KZUM exists to unite, celebrate, and amplify all of the voices in Lincoln. With weekly shows in Spanish, Vietnamese, and programs highlighting many perspectives like LGBTQ+ and Native/Indigenous, we are committed to showcasing stories and sounds often missing from mainstream media. And the heartbeat of our station? Volunteers spanning seven decades in age, each bringing their own energy, perspective, and joy to our broadcast.
KZUM is more than a radio station—it’s a lifeline for public health, safety, and connection. As a proud partner of local and national nonprofits, we broadcast nearly 200 public service announcements each week in multiple languages, ensuring vital information reaches every corner of our community—completely free of charge. We’re also a trusted carrier of the Emergency Alert System, standing ready to keep Lincoln informed and safe.
Since our listener-supported beginnings in 1973, our dedication to Lincoln has never wavered. KZUM isn’t just media—it’s a movement. Together, we create a healthier, happier, and more connected Lincoln. There’s no place like KZUM, and there’s no place like home.
